Promos

Promos allow you to "beautify" your links and content on Brightspot with photos, short descriptions, and a layout that will help users understand and be more likely to click on your content. Headers of pages make great promos, as they are able to display full-width photos and links and make the page look professional. Each content type is able to set how they would like to be displayed as a promo for continence for example.

Promo Types

Promos are not items that you can create either by shortcut or a search bar, they must be used in lists or as a content type inside of a page. There are many different ways that promos can appear, and more ways can be found on this site here

Promos in List

Promo list example

A common use of Promos are used as advanced lists. These are lists that are not simply of text or links like normal. Advanced lists allow you to add Promos as content types. These lists can have custom photos, descriptions, and titles to better graphically appear.

Setting Promo Share Settings

Override Promo Example

Instead of having to change the settings manually each time you add a Promo, you can change the settings on the page, article, or whatever content type you're trying to use in a promo in their settings.

In the content you're trying to make a promo with, click on the Overrides type in the tab and open up Promo Module Overrides (Internal). This override tab will automatically use whatever data you put here and set it anywhere on any page when you use this page as a promo.

Title: The title of what you would like the content to be called.

Promo Description: How you want that content type to be described.

Promo Image: The image that you want to be displayed to represent the content page.

Once you have finished saving the overrides, publish the content and it will save.
